It's kinda weird how one gets accustomed to buggy behaviour. And no, I haven't sent a bug report to Opera. Mainly because I don't like them and don't want to help them...
Anyway, if you need information about a movie, just ask me, I'll give you the details in this post

And if it also includes the N810, then that further supports the original poster's claim that this product was not released when ready.
And again, I'm not using the N800. N810 or 770. I avoided te N800, that little hump wasn't sexy to me

ok. Gizmodo.com took 1 minute, 8 seconds to load. I wasn't being patient.
I still say the case sucks though :-P

http://www.gizmodo.com works on my 770. It never loads on my N810. Whenever I sign in to here or any other VBulletin/PhpBB forum, it doesn't remember my credentials.

The N810's GPS is a tacked on function. I'll wait for the software to mature. It's not there yet.
For now, there's the fantastic maemo mapper that is both free and awesome.

The e-mail program does NOT support GMail's IMAP functionality; much unlike I was told here. That was either a misguided answer, or a lie. I'll classify it as an misunderstanding.

And to install Skype, I had to dot upgrade to .19, which removed all of my settings, apps (installed), and I'm going to have to do so again it seems each and every time. I thought that was going to be fixed in this iteration of the OS?

I can no longer add sub-categories in the user menu. I can't control the font size without hacking the system. Or applying a new theme.
Font size has never been something that was easily changed outside of themes. There'll be a number of new themes available in 12- and 14-pt flavors soon enough.

This definitely feels like a beta release to me; but I expected much of that.

The fact that somebody isn't as happy with the N810 as some of you people apparently are shouldn't be that hard to swallow.

Accessed page in 6 seconds, loaded first elements in 9 seconds, was browsing using the d-pad to scroll down and look at full images and posts in 19 seconds and the full page was loaded in 39 seconds.
Did not crash the browser... there was a slight formatting issue on the right hand side margin alignment.

If the N800 + 2008 is beta and the N810 + 2008 isnīt beta, as someone in this thread appeared to claim, can anyone name anything that works on the N810 that crashes on the N800?

gizmodo is the biggest page i've seen until now .
took 8s to load, 30m from my little dsl AP.
Awesome speed.
so BUG NOT REPRODUCABLE WITH GIVEN INFO
move on
Another one?
It takes some of my time but I'll go on until my browser crashes. Then I'll shut up.
I don't say the device is perfect but there are too many lies (or lack of knowledge) in this thread, it is a big mess.
FUD
ps:
for people having difficulties, please adress your problems to bugs.maemo.org and explain clearly your settings, otherwise it will be put in 'not reproducable' category very quickly.
Developpers are human after all, they make mistakes.

No. It doesn't. A backup file that's 3.9mb in size will not have all of my data backup. It will have my settings. To me, that's merely an incremental backup, not a full backup.
I'd label that lacking. Thank goodness I've been through this update/re-install activity enough times with my 770 that it's not even a factor any longer.

I can only hope I perceived that wrong as well.
imdb loaded in a manner of seconds, no crashes
gizmodo took a little longer to load completely, perhaps 30 seconds. But yeah it works, no crashes
